Though puzzled by the frequent visual proof that footballers actually buy their groceries
themselves (rather than hiring imported servants and/or desperate peasants to do their manual
labour), we love seeing footballers doing the groceries.
For example, here's Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov stocking up on H20 and other goodies at
Sainsburys in Wilmslow two days ago.
Some Spanish Football media observers claim one of the reasons that Chilean Alexis Sanchez is not
yet a Barça player is because young JEFFREN refused to be part of the signing package operation
that would have taken him to Italian Club Udinense. The U-21 Spanish International player does have
alternative offers & especially from England.
Have been attempting to avoid posting anything about Brazilian 19 year old International & SANTOS
star NEYMAR because there is so much transfer/signing bullshit flying around here in Spain about
this player that no one knows what to believe. What we do all know is that "the kid" looks like
being the next big World Football star & that Chelsea FC offered 35M€ to get him to England but

spain football A " visual surf" through the local Spanish Football Sports press this morning brings
out this story that originally hit the headlines last Friday & today gets a more detailed analysis.
According to Portugues Sports paper "Record" BENFICA defender COENTRAO had a heavy verbal debate
with his Coach & stormed off the training session last Thursday.

New star Chelsea FC signing Spanish International forward FERNANDO TORRES now has a song at his new

little bit of it as pure Marketing as the "publicity machine" kicks off to recoup part of the

Regular readers will be aware that the thirst for booze knowledge in the Kickette office knows
no bounds. In order to sate this thirst (for your benefit as well as ours, you understand) we force
ourselves to venture deeper and deeper into dark, unexplored territories; places where angels fear
to tread.
This piece of "dirty" rumour & gossip news comes out of Italy via their Sports paper "La Gazzetta
dello Sport", which has been picked up locally by the Spanish Sports press. According to the
Italian paper, Real Madrid Coach Mourinho is obsessed with signing INTER MILAN & Brazilian
International right back MAICON.
SPANISH FOOTBALL & SPORTS daily newspaper "AS" publish that the arrival of BENFICA & Portuguese
International FABIO COENTRAO is an almost done deal. The paper goes on to inform that REAL MADRID
is waiting to transfer French midfielder LASS DIARRA & then with the money gained do the operation
with Benfica for their player.
You could be forgiven for thinking there is only one English-born player currently turning out for
Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.
Given that the player in question is David Beckham, arguably the most famous footballer of his
generation, you can understand why.
But there is another, and it charts another remarkable chapter in the football career of Chris
Birchall.
FC BARCELONA presented to media their "new look" uniform for next season 2011-2012. The highlight
is the increase in the number of stripes, the new sponsor & that the away uniform will be black FC
Barcelona Captain Puyol with new uniform 2011-2012 season Amazes me how the issue of a uniform
change can generate so much news & how the fans (naturally) take it on so seriously.
Pardon our interruption of your normal Monday morning routines, but we have an urgent update
that we couldn't keep to ourselves: Leo Messi & Antonella Roccuzzo are back together.
Although the relationship status of these two has nagged us for a while, we know what you're
thinking: define 'together'.
This SPANISH FOOTBALL transfer story is beginning to stink. Its a "love story" that has hit the
wall of reality with full heart wrenching consequences. FC Barcelona player Xavi Hernandez
mentioned it the other day ..."Cesc is suffering", reminding me of Romeo yelling his heart out for
Juliette. The negotiations between ARSENAL & FC BARCELONA for Spanish Football International CESC
FABREGAS are
Apparently our Landon has been D-Town down this week and has worked the Super Bowl party scene like
a total and complete champion. Dude's been spotted all over town at everything from the Playboy
party to Direct TV's Celebrity Beach Bowl. The shot above was from Pepsi's party (which was,
tragically, DJed by Pauly D.
How quickly things change in Football. One day your here the next your there. This with the added
incentive of millions & millions of dirty euros (€) & juicy representative commissions makes the
"silly transfer season" very entertaining & perfect for any betting system. Even fortune tellers
looking into crystal balls can´t figure out how the market will end up.
spanish football sports Watching a popular late night SPANISH FOOTBALL TV programme the other night
one of the journalists invited said: ..."the Cesc Fabregas operation isn´t so shut case as it
seems". In fact, the journo went further & said ..."It is all taking longer than expected to shut
the transfer of Cesc to Barcelona".
spain football SPANISH FOOTBALL has its own Shakespearian play underway with two stories full of
drama, changing destiny, backstabbing, betrayal, rumour, lies & human suffering. One is Cesc
Fabregas & his endevour to leave Arsenal & get to FC Barcelona, the other which is todays post,
SERGIO AGUERO & his desire to leave ATLETICO DE MADRID for rival REAL MADRID.
Oh Cristiano, how we had faith in you, hon. Perhaps in hindsight, it was all wishful thinking
about intoxication.
Spotted moving his metallic feet and poorly-tailored jeans down the Marca red carpet
last night, CR (plus his manager) was on hand to accept the Pichichi award for being La Liga's
highest scorer last season.
Es war das Highlight des gestrigen Sonntagsspiels zwischen dem FC Augsburg und dem FC Bayern
München. Kurz vor dem Ende der Partie lief ein Flitzer über den Rasen und schug dabei noch
etliche Flik-Flaks. Heute konnte man überall von der Aktion lesen und überall war das Gelächter
groß, nur bis jetzt kann immer noch niemand [.
Pato's girlfriend, whom we affectionately love to call 'Babs' for purely shortcut purposes, was in
Miami last week to attend Emporio Armani's celebration of Art Basel's 10th anniversary. Thanks to a
few paps who we actually don't mind receiving e-mails from, we know that Ms B and the Voronins
weren't the only ones occupying the sunshine state recently; Samuel Eto'o & fam spent some time
letting their hair down (Georgette let her top down) whilst on vacay in Miami Beach.
Following you will find pictures and fan video taken during the meeting with MLS Commissioner Don
Garber. None of the video is professional so bear with us. the video it does give you a little

I've seen much criticism out there from fans from other cities concerning the number of fans that
showed up to the event.

Thought I give readers today a brief run down of the hot rumours & gossip doing the SPANISH
FOOTBALL circles at this moment, & that are taking up pages in the local Spanish Sports papers.
As habitual, the two Football Clubs that take up most of the talk are FC Barcelona & Real Madrid
with both full of "juicy back room" talk & exaggerated assertions.
Oh my dear, how the REAL MADRID - NEYMAR "transfer operation" has complicated itself in the last
10 days. Weeks back the Spanish Football Club - the representative - the player were said to have
an agreement. Real Madrid President Perez flew to Paris to meet up with SANTOS President Ribiero &
things looked like being shut in matters of hours or days.

Attention all bound-to-be-gorgeous 'baller baby watchers: Claudio Marchisio is bringing another
offspring into the world.
So about Mr Marchisio.
Spanish Football media has picked up a news "flash" from English radio programe "Talk Sport" which
although maybe just healthy speculation has made ripples down towards the Iberian peninsula. The
talk is that English Premier League Club ARSENAL FC has once again put its sights on SEVILLA FC
winger & Spanish International JESUS NAVAS.
Dear Miss Berlusconi,
It's not easy for us to say this, but we find your Alexander McQueen skull scarf to be
predictably plebeian, even for the Z-list WAGs of the world. We are just not okay with you, the
Empress of the Serie A Significant Others Universe and heir to the bunga bunga throne, wearing an
accessory motif that we forced into retirement some eight seasons ago.
Lots of SPANISH FOOTBALL news today especially in the REAL MADRID transfers gossip area that I
will run down in this post. As informed Real Madrid has signed RCD Espanyol CALLEJON, Borrusia
Dortmund midfielder SAHIN & almost has shut Bayern Munich player ANTILTOP who finishes contract.
But there have been more movements in other palyer "business" fronts especially on possible exits.
